Hey Tom, thanks for the kind words. Sizing is pretty individual, as you’d imagine. The specs for this aren’t too far off from the Aero D-Pocket I just sold, these being just a half-breath larger. Best to go by the specs listed on the IH product page; I purchased the SMALL and the dimensions are quite consistent with those listed on their website.

When I first put the jacket on right out of the box, right there in front of my wife, all I could say was, “Oh man, this thing is perfect, and it feels like a second skin.”

Again, size is individual, but this jacket has been exceptionally easy to wear. And the hand on this chrome-tanned horsehide has become increasingly soft like warm Play-doh, a result of the grains rapidly developing with every touch and movement. I mean, I love pictures of stiff jackets that stand on their own, but there’s nothing quite like a horsehide jacket that drapes and folds itself over your arms, or falls like a thick, hand-woven blanket in your hand.

Thanks, Powerband.

I did. now order the jacket in size „L“ and will see how it goes. With IH‘ s worldclass delivery system, I should know before long...

These pictures of yours - Can’t wait to see the jacket in the flesh! Always wear it in good health.

After seeing the new “Midway” movie (I give it a thumb’s up!), I had to wear my “go-to” G-1 jacket: a 2002 military-issued Excelled in a 48 Long. I’ve added a vintage USN whistle to the collar that I obtained from a veteran submarine officer who deployed aboard USS SWORDFISH (SSN 579) during the 1960’s (the full service history of SWORDFISH is still cloaked in secrecy; if this whistle could talk....!).

It was IH 23 and me again today with a hoody underneath. Tomorrow the Pike bros N1 makes it’s debut with a low of around 14. Not ready. 4” of snow on my porch today. 40’s by the weekend. The joys of life in the belly of America. Or armpit. Depends on your point of view.

Fantastic! I hope you’ll be as delighted as I was stunned when I pulled it out of the bag.

It feels great out of the bag but it becomes progressively and acutely better with every passing day as the hide gives under its own weight because of the rapidly developing grains.

Can’t wait to see fit pics from you.
